이혼가정 자녀가 인식하는 교사의 표상과 친구의 의미에 관한질적 연구-교사연수 및 학교상담에의 함의

The purpose of this study is to explore a role model from a teacher and the meaning of a friend which a child of a divorced family perceive. An in-depth interview was conducted for this study. Six participants were composed of males and females. They were studying at university or graduated from university. Findings showed that role models from a teacher whom children in divorced families perceived, were ‘a teacher presenting sympathy that children living with a divorced parent do not want,’ ‘a teacher who either is indifferent or evasive,’ and ‘a teacher who is negligent.’ In other words, these role models from teachers could make students hurt. In case of ‘a teacher presenting sympathy that children living with a divorced parent do not want,’ there emerged a stereotype which refers to general and abstract knowledge on characteristics of certain grouped people and expresses a bias in the aspect of a divorced family. In terms of a bias in the emotional perspective, a role model, an evasive teacher represented his or her negative and hostile feeling on a certain grouped people. 'A negligent teacher' represented a behavior giving students a disadvantage based on the name of the student group as a bias in the behavioral aspect. ‘Meaning of a friend’ drew results: ‘a person by whom children of the divorced family are intimidated’ ‘a person feeling sympathy,’ and ‘a person having no bias on children of a divorced family.’ The meaning of friend whom children with a divorced parent have has differently meant over time. As a result of this, it showed how children of a divorced family overcome this problem that children with a divorced parent are vulnerably to reveal themselves. Based on results, implications for teacher training and school counseling were suggested.
